A View from Here

 Happy Friday everyone! 

Don't forget to do some LOCAL SHOPPING at SMALL BUSINESSES this weekend if you are able. You don't have to buy things to support local! Just "being here" virtually by sharing our posts, commenting on social media, telling friends about us and showing photos of the great things you have found is very helpful! You can also buy Gift Certificates online here to use anytime or gift to someone near or far!

If you aren't following us on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, why not check us out! You can also sign up for a weekly newsletter where the latest new works and artist features come right into your in-box HERE

 


 If you are out for a walk in the evening, make sure to do some window shopping at the gallery. So much to see! We have decked out the gallery with lots of festive cheer! 


Across the street from our gallery we have even decorated the windows of the empty storefront. Anything to add a bit more merry and bright! Featured there this weekend is a display paying homage to a favourite Holiday movie....HOME ALONE....but with a twist just for 2020...HOME A LOT!  Ornaments by Jampy aka our friend Chris Smith have been very popular this season. We just ordered our last order, so once they are gone they're gone. Get yours today and some for friends too. Easy to send in the mail! 


Home A Lot Ornaments are $14 each

Another SWEET THING that is happening this Saturday, December 12th we will be handing out FLEUR DE SEL Caramels by The Bird's Nest Cafe  while supplies last (one bag per customer)  So drop by for some art and sweet treats in our safe space. FREE PARKING ON SATURDAY TOO! YAY!

Have Yourself a Merry Sci-Fi Christmas.....


The holiday season is upon us now and although it's going to be a different one this year for most of the world, due to COVID-19, you can still treat yourself  and those you love to original artwork that is OUT OF THIS WORLD! 

Are you a Star Wars fan or a Star Trek fan? There always seems to be a divide between the two groups in sci-fi land, but can't we just all get along?  Of  course we can!

FOR THE STAR TREK FANS! 

This painting by Anna Whalen could be just what you have been looking for! We also have a shiny new ray gun that has just arrived, made from repurposed items by artist Ed Beals. PEW PEW PEW!  Of course, small gifts are great too and easy to send in the mail or pop in a Christmas stocking like the featured Star Trek inspired bookmarks and stickers by Jodie Hansen. 



Cards by Jodie Hansen can also be framed as small prints! So many punny ones to choose from!

 

FOR THE STAR WARS FANS!

Another brilliant painting by Anna Whalen is shown below, and perfect for the Star Wars fan in your life! We also have holiday cards that even feature "the child" from the current Madalorian  series which has been popular this season by Andrew Burke and of course, you can never go wrong with more fun things by Jodie Hansen like the magnet/ornament of Yoda featured. There are lots more to choose from in person and online HERE. 



BOOKMARKS AND CARDS and even a "THINGS TO CONQUER" list to keep you on track!


And if you need a calendar to keep you focused on the amazing year ahead which will be more hopeful and COVID-19 safe....(fingers crossed)....while not consider picking up this 2021 calendar also by Andrew Burke! 


Get in touch if you are interested in purchasing anything you see featured here by contacting us via phone or email. We can arrange shipping, delivery within HRM, Curbside pick-up and more! HAPPY SHOPPING and STAY SAFE!
